“the rider wasn’t threatening anyone but himself”

1. Although this is friendly, this is wrong. He is supposed to uphold the law. Stunting is illegal and is an arrestible offense if the subject keeps doing it when an officer tells him not to.

“I can’t say, for privacy reasons.”

Guessing base in the mid to high 40's, and by base, i mean base. You want power drivers seat? That’ll be $3,999 for the technology package that comes with a bunch of shit you didn’t ask for.  

I drove a supercar recently with paddle shifters (NSX.)

It was quite an eye opening experience! I’d read and had heard from magazine articles that all the speed in the world can be boring without a properly engaging car, but never really believed it. But I do now.

I love fast cars, but i’ll take engaging over fast when…

This right here, I was discussing with a salesman that I will not buy a new Audi S4 due to the lack of a manual transmission option. His reply was that “the automatic is faster”, to which my reply was, “how many of these things are running around racetracks trying to gain two seconds, give me a break!”

Well, now I’m not getting one. I wasn’t going to anyways, but I’m still not gonna get one....

COTD right HERE!

Should pay him a percentage of net profits

I foresee a little issue with an existing company/product line of the same(ish) name.

It’s France - passing pedestrians will be holding up scorecards to grade your technique

Textron miiiight have something to say about that name.

That thing will be awful on a hot sunny day.

I would prefer GR. Every time I see the word ‘gazoo’, I can’t help picturing this for a few seconds:

Honestly, if you wouldn’t keep telling me how awful she is, I wouldn’t know she existed. I didn’t even know grid girls were a thing until I read about it here.

I agree with you whole heartedly. Even though a 9/13/18 are the same box, somebody screwed up by tossing the 18 speed unit in a truck specs for a 13. So that means some poor guy went to go lug a very heavy load only to find p it he’s missing a few ratios on the low end. Easy retrofit though.

I grew up a little less than a mile from the end of the main runway of an Air Force base. A squadron of F4s flew directly above our house every morning at 5 am. I don’t miss it.

I know several competent first amendment attorneys. Some I know personally, some I know indirectly through their fame and actions. I can confidently say that I don’t think that a single one of them would consider this a bona-fide violation of First Amendment rights.

Yeah... that’s not actually how the First Amendment works.

A show of hands for people who would love a regular F-35 flyby and would put up with the noise for the occasional impromptu airshow?
